  1. This is the first box I have ever built, I had no help on it at all and it has taken me 6 days, I started on Monday. As far as materials go, I have spent about $110 including the 5 yards of carpet.

    Doesn't hurt that I actually used 3 sheets of MDF but the guy at Home Depot told me to say I only bought 2.

    Anyways, the subs that are going in here will be the T5s I already have, and I made the box bigger on purpose for when I decide to upgrade.

    I used 3/4" MDF and for bracing I used 2 1-1/4" Closet rods vertically and 2 1" rods horizontally.

    I know that it is definitely not perfect or the greatest box so any criticism is welcome, also maybe some tips for the next box I end up building.

    For tolls I had no router, all I had was the first ever drill known to man basically, corded, no reverse, horrible, a jigsaw, and a belt sander. Also on clamp, but I got by.

    As far as size goes it is 40" High x 36" Deep x 28" Tall.

    Should be done soon, going to get it metered and see what the change is. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

  2. My friend just got a box and sub off of here but the box doesn't fit. So he would like to build one now and he just needs to know the right specs. It can be up to 40" wide, 16" tall and 20" deep. Any help would be greatly appreciated, also, we want this box to be able to get loud.
